    Default Attention-seeking title (or the metapragmatic thread)

    Initial post: [Pithy remark. Setup for anecdote. Exaggerated narration of event. Rhetorical question: remark on peculiarity of event. Discourse transition, reflections on event. Equivocal expression of opinion that event indicates broad trend. Request for comments.]

    EDIT: Apology for typo in poll.

    Quote 1.

    Remark on Jebus's questionable taste in entertainment.

    Quote 2.

    [Comment on how long it's been since member has been seen last. Lame inside joke from three years ago that not even the aforementioned member understands or find funny.]

    Edit: [Realization that said member has been posting consistently for at least a week. Shame.]

    Quote turn #13.

    Agreement. Remark on the salience of original thesis. Discourse transition, expression of hesitation to draw strong conclusions from the results so far.
